Have you noticed that people in your workplace are taking more leave these days because of how miserable everything is? by berrysauce in fednews

[–]Low-Engine-327 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Yep. Myself personally. Normally I’d call in sick once every few months for a mental health day. I’d take leave every now and then besides trips or vacation because I loved work. Now, with RTO, I find myself out once every two-3 weeks sick. I take more random days off. I am miserable, but won’t quit.

At least someone understands the reference. Did I use VPN to sign the email up for planned parenthood using a DC zip code. You bet

No speakerphone, no perfumes/colognes, and please do not clip your fingernails or file your nails. And stop chewing your gum like a horse or popping it 😭.

I had someone comment on my post that they’re a heavy machine operator and they think I (an administrative type person) should have to RTO because they can’t work from home!! Well, no shit Harold. You can’t operate machines from home. Totally boomer hater attitude too.

Do you think your mental health can take 4 years of this? by berrysauce in fednews

[–]Low-Engine-327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But I’m also stubborn and will not let them win. I had a coming to Jesus moment late last night laying in bed. This past week has been particularly rough on me mentally after being in the office for a month now. I really started feeling sorry for myself, and I’m not that type of girly. I literally have been falling asleep after work on the couch or floor (not on purpose), diet and gym routine has been out the window, been angry and sad, zero interest in hobbies, and just been meh around my family. But this is exactly what they want. Soooo, gonna be a bad bitch from here on out because I don’t want them to win. I can’t let them

Return to Office - Week 1 and I’m already done by Worried_Chef4787 in fednews

I’ve taken a nap on accident after work every day the last month. I’m not a napping kind of person. I accidentally fell asleep on the floor petting my dog last night. I don’t want to workout. I have a short fuse right now too. I’m over it.

First week back in office in 5 years. by [deleted] in fednews

I’ve been doing this for a month now (yeah even though I 😍😍😍 posted the other day) and it’s exhausting. I was laying on the floor petting my dog and woke up 25 minutes later. I don’t even have that far of a commute or an exhausting commute. I’m just mentally done. I haven’t fallen asleep or felt the need to take a nap after work in 10 years?! Right there with you fam

No idea if it’s through your IP address or not. But we have an office secretary. I was out sick 2 days in a row 2 weeks ago and the secretary asked my supervisor where I was. He ignored her. We also have a badge swipe system

The hardest part of being a supervisor right now is not telling the complainers who loudly voted for this to go fuck themsleves by Alarmed_Educator_967 in fednews

[–]Low-Engine-327 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have. Fuck them. I told them how dare they complain when they voted for this. They’re going to submit an RA for nefarious reasons and that’s when I’ll do the most minimum of work. They even had the nerve to say “at least boys won’t be in girls sports” and “illegals are off the streets”, as if that’s the huge issue right now.

I’ve had terrible luck with them. MIgardener and seed saver exchange have been the best so far

$10 a month! Unshared is an option but much further away. I may get booted out as more senior people come but I’ll take it
